Club Dead
by Charlaine Harris
Sookie struggles with her feelings for Vampire Bill as she works to rescue him from the traitorous ex for whom he deserted her.
Sookie Stackhouse, the favorite telepathic barmaid of northern Louisiana’s vampire society, once again finds herself using her “gift” undercover in another state. But instead of returning a favor by penetrating an anti-vampire cult to recover a kidnapped vamp, she must find out information by acting as a werewolf’s new girlfriend in a Jackson, Mississippi bar that exclusively caters to supernatural beings and their human lovers.
As with her previous excursion, her life literally depends on the covert plan’s success. However, her feelings are divided as the kidnapped vampire is her former boyfriend, Bill, who left her for an old vampire beau that turned on him and is to blame for his kidnapping and torture.
Lustful situations are a little sparse in comparison to this novel’s precedents in lieu of Sookie’s emotional trauma over Bill’s desertion, but Harris doesn’t let the tension dwindle. She further complicates her heroine’s love life and develops her character as an assertive, independent woman whom realizes she has other desirable suitors besides her tall, dark and dead ex. Bill’s vampire boss, Eric, and her werewolf escort, Alcide, both make advances she partially reciprocates in a tease to herself and the audience in looking toward the next Sookie Stackhouse installment.
